Synopsis
This text contains a complete overview of the concept of "brain allergies" - the theory that exposure to certain foods and other substances triggers mental disorders in people so predisposed, and that such disorders can be cured by eliminating exposure to these substances.
Customer Reviews
Excellent and essential reading
There is now an acceptance and understanding that certain drugs will have side-effects that produce a change in behaviour. In fact some drugs are designed to do exactly that - change how you behave and feel. If we accept that drugs do this, often with little understanding of how, why can we not accept that food, chemicals within food and in the environment can do the same?
Well thankfully Dr Philpott does accept this and in this wonderful book explains how brain allergies arise and how they can, and do, effect behaviour and feelings. The book contains many example of how individual's 'psychological' problems have in fact turned out to be reactions to food, chemicals in the environment, preservatives and additives, non-caking agents in table salt, and chlorinated water. Some food examples include:
Hyperactivity in a child being caused by string beans. Violent anger in a woman that was triggered by oranges. Sensitivity to wheat in a seventeen year old who had been classed as mentally ill for three years. Watermelons leading to depression and irritability in a twelve year old. Manic depression being caused by milk in a thirty year old patient.
What surprises, and saddens, me greatly is that this information is not more widely available and that it is not embraced by the medical profession. If you think your mental health is being impaired, by either the food you eat or something in the environment, then do yourself a favour and read this book and then pass it onto your doctor.
Nutrition is also explored and this new edition also contains a section on magnetic therapy.
